The bill for the redemption of the
trade dollars was nothing more nor
less than steal. The President
ought to have vetoed it. But as the
bill was in the interest of the mon
eyed class, for whom the United
States government exclusively exists,
it was hardly to be expected that it
would fail either Of the votes III con-
gress and the senate, or of presiden-
tial endoI sement. As usual in like
cases the bill was put through on the
plea of the government keeping faith
with the public, and Of protecting
innocent purchasers. The truth is
that the government had no faith to
keep, and there were no innocent
purchasers Of trade dollars. Every
trade dollar in this country was long
ago bought by spectators at dis
count of ten TO twenty-five per cent.
for the express purpose of Iobbing
the government treasury by this iden-
tical trade dollar redemption scheme.

According to the Omaha RepuLli.

According to,tle Omaha Republi-
can the great problem of car heating
without STOVES has been satisfactori-
ly solved by scientist Of that city.
A test was made the other day that
proved it = success. The heat is pro-
duced by chemical reaction acids
and alkali, and all that sort of thing
and is dis tribut~d in tubes from
she generator through. the car. The
materials used are Inexpensive, aud
the plan can be adapted to hexting
houses rs we'll as passenger cars. If
the generator is upset in collision
or its contents are spilled no harm
will ensue, as the materials, when
exposed to the atmosphere cease TO
generate hest. IL 10 said that the
test car was made piping hot IN y
few moments. A joint company has
been formed and patent applied for,

A writer in housekeeping journal
says: 'Bread can be boiled instead
of baking it, and with far.less heat
ing of the range. Those who have
tried the new method consider it to
be quite satisfactory. 1t consists
mainly in stealning the dough in
stead of cooking it in the oven. 1t
is claimed that this is great inveu-
ton, as 1t saves the time and expert
ence necessary to get the oven to the
right heat for baking, which has al
ways proved the great obstacle to
baking at home. The utensils re-
quired are slmply these: First, attn
mold, or camp kettle, in which the
dough Is placed after 1t has been
mixed with the usual iEgredients-
water, yeast, sugar and salt-and
secondly, Il large tin saucepan, into
which the mold fits. The water in
the outer saucepan is allowed 10 boil
around the tin mold for two or three
hours, the lids of both utensils being
kept closely down, and at the end Of
that time the, loaf may be turned out.
1t will be found firm, solid and plia-
BILE, with all the qualities of good
